if you really want to pick a fight with the left tell them that burning wood is also carbon neutral. That one always makes their head explode. Where do you think trees get the carbon they need to grow? It's not from the soil. Plants only get micro nutrients and water from the soil. Everyone knows that trees suck up CO2 and give off Oxygen. where do you think the carbon goes? Photosynthesis is the process of using light as the energy source to take CO2 and water to make hydrocarbons. The hydrogen comes from the water and the carbon comes from the CO2. Burning wood can only ever release the carbon that the tree sucked up in it's life and hence growing a tree and then burning it is in fact carbon neutral.
